The ACI A/DLP-040-W-U-D-A-0 is a differential low pressure transmitter built around a piezoresistive silicon sensing element, with up to 8 DIP-switch-selectable pressure ranges (0-10 to 0-40 in WC) configurable as either unidirectional or bidirectional. Field-selectable analog outputs include 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, and 0-10 VDC, all on the same unit. +/-0.5% FSO typical accuracy (including hysteresis, linearity, and repeatability at 71 F), front-cover pushbutton zero for in-place re-zeroing, and a flame-retardant polycarbonate enclosure with watertight cordgrip and hinged cover. This SKU includes the 5-digit LCD display for on-board pressure readout during commissioning, balancing, and troubleshooting - no handheld meter needed to verify what the transmitter is sensing.

Key Features
8-Range, 3-Output DIP Configuration
Each unit supports up to 8 field-selectable pressure ranges via the SW3 DIP switch (0-10 to 0-40 in WC both unidirectional and bidirectional), plus 3 selectable output signals (4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC) via SW1 and SW3. One part number covers many job requirements.
Piezoresistive Silicon Sensing
Solid-state silicon element with +/-0.5% FSO typical accuracy (hysteresis, linearity, and repeatability at 71 F included). Thermal effects are +/-0.067% FSO/F (0.12% FSO/C). Low warm-up drift, low long-term drift, stable across the 32-122 F compensated range.
On-Board 5-Digit LCD Display
Built-in LCD shows live differential pressure in either inches WC or pascals (DIP-selectable). Also displays AUTOZERO icon during zero-mode operation and OUT OF RANGE indicator when the sensed pressure exceeds the selected range - useful for commissioning and field troubleshooting.
Flexible Mounting Options
Direct panel-screw mount via two top/bottom flange holes (two #8 x 3/4 in self-drilling screws included), or add the optional A/DRC-DLP 35 mm DIN rail clip. The A/PT-DLP duct-static pitot tube can be added later for in-duct airflow measurement.
Rugged Watertight Enclosure
Flame-retardant polycarbonate housing with UL94-5VA rating (more stringent than V-0). Watertight cordgrip pre-installed for the field wiring entry; the cordgrip can be removed to accept 1/2 in NPT conduit fittings instead. Hinged cover with integrated locking tab opens easily without tools.
Robust Overpressure Protection
Proof pressure: 562 in WC (140 kPa). Burst pressure: 1004.7 in WC (250 kPa). The piezoresistive sensor tolerates significant overpressure events well above the maximum 40 in WC sensing range - protects against duct surge, fan startup transients, and accidental high-pressure mis-plumbing.
Selectable Range Options
This SKU offers 8 field-selectable ranges set via the internal DIP switch. Power must be off when changing the configuration:
